Hi Nigel,
In Entourage X there are two ways to approach this depending upon how you
like to organize your stuff.
One way is to create an entirely different identity (I suggest this one).
From the "Entourage" menu choose "Switch Identity" (or press Option+Apple+Q)
In the "Entourage" dialog that opens click the "New..." button
Give the identity a name. "Hotmail" would be a likely choice, but call it
anything you like. Click OK.
In the succeeding steps fill in the blanks as presented. Here are two key
things to watch for:
In step 4 where it asks "What do you want to import" choose "I want to start
using Entourage without importing anything."
In step 7 choose "I already have an email address that I'd like to use."
then fill it in.
When you click "finish" the hotmail account should appear in the left pane.
Click on it. Everything will work right unless you have Internet Explorer
set to not accept cookies. Hotmail won't work with Entourage unless IE will
accept cookies (or set to ask for each site, to which you must allow cookies
for hotmail when prompted in Entourage). In other words, Entourage uses
Internet Explorer's settings and cookie manager for cookies from HotMail.
The other approach is rather than creating a new identity is to add hotmail
within an existing identity. To do that use Entourage's Tools > Accounts
menu. Click on the "Mail" tab then click the "New" button. Follow the steps
above and the Hotmail account will appear in the same frame as your regular
email account.
